Insider tip for special cycling moments on the Großglockner

The Grossglockner High Alpine Road is one of the most impressive challenges for cycling enthusiasts - whether by road bike or e-bike. Those who start early are not only rewarded with a fresh breeze and breathtaking morning atmosphere, but also experience the Glockner in its most tranquil form. The later afternoon time also has its charm - when the sun shines golden through the serpentines and the hustle and bustle of the day slowly subsides.

This makes the ride up Austria's highest mountain not only sporty, but also
particularly atmospheric.

Become your very own King of the Glockner
on your cycling ride!

This unique experience is something every cyclist would want to mark in their tour book. After all, a must-do for every ambitious biker is, of course, the ride on the Großglockner High Alpine Road up to the Edelweißspitze (the highest drivable point) and possibly even further to the Pasterze.

International Glocknerkönig in Bruck & Fusch

For those who love competition and enjoy challenging themselves, the internationally popular Glocknerkönig, which has been held for over 20 years, is a must. This cycling event for everyone (amateurs or professionals) is truly special, as the Großglockner High Alpine Road is exclusively closed for the event.

On the dream road of the Alps and the queen stage of the Österreich-Rundfahrt, you’ll not only conquer your inner sloth, but also tackle 27 km of distance, 1,694 meters of elevation, and up to 12% gradient from Bruck to Fuscher Törl. By the way, there’s also an "Ultra" tough route variant for the truly daring.

Automatic timing

On the route between the Ferleiten toll station and Fuscher Törl, you can record your own ride time using the automatic timing system (before 9:00 AM and after 3:00 PM).

Simply pay 2 EUR at the ticket machine at the toll station, take the barcode ticket, and start cycling right away. From that moment, the time will start! When you reach the finish at Fuscher Törl, insert the ticket into a reader to receive a new ticket with your personal time. Back at the Ferleiten toll station, you can exchange this ticket for a certificate. At the same time, you will be entered into the official rankings, which will also be published online.

Cycling safely on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road

The Grossglockner High Alpine Road is becoming increasingly popular with cyclists - particularly due to the boom in e-bikes. However, this also increases the volume of traffic on the road and can lead to dangerous situations in interaction with motorised traffic.

In order to increase safety for all road users, the Grossglockner Hochalpenstraßen AG (GROHAG) recommends planning the ascent at particularly low-traffic times:
Ideally between 06:00 and 07:00 in the morning (but no later than 08:00) or in the late afternoon from 15:00.

Please help to improve safety on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road - and pass this recommendation on to other cyclists.
